I find Dr. Laura Sullivan-Green a very influential person. She explains geotechnical engineering clearly and to the point, while allowing students to think creatively so they can become well-rounded engineers. Professor Green’s demonstrated love and passion for geotechnical engineering influences students to strive to discover their own paths. She is an amazing individual who has made an impact on my life. Thanks to her—and her upbeat lectures on hydrology—I have found my passion in geotechnical engineering.
